Sink repair in Cyffredyn without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips around the rim.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Cyffredyn and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Cyffredyn: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What we’re called out for in Cyffredyn
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips around the rim
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
